*AHEM* One person may not "shut down the internet" with a click of a button, or type of a code, or trip of a wire. if one person tries to control the internet, the other services pass right by them. there are hundreds of thousands that control the internet, and one link in the giant system of networks dropping out does not matter at all, heck, they drop 1,000's of links as we speak... type- I meant type.
